IGA GROUNDWATER SCIENCE AWARDS

The Groundwater Science Awards Program recognizes Illinoisans who have made outstanding contributions to groundwater science in the spirit of the Illinois Groundwater Protection Act. For purposes of these awards, groundwater science is broadly defined to include research, education, consulting service, water well construction, or public service as related to the scientific management, protection, and or utilization of groundwater. Two types of awards are presented: an achievement award and a public information/education award. More information and nomination forms are available at Association meetings or by contacting Randy Locke.
